• Answer:

  Assuming you'll be required to cite a primary source anyways I suggest picking a source for each of the topics you have selected, be sure to find the one for the correct Treaty of Versailles (there's about nine of different treaties of the same name). Read each one in it's entirety and then whichever holds the most interest for you pick that one. Part of writing the paper is formulating your own research question. Pick what interests you; Stalin you could talk about mental illness he openly suffered from severe anxiety and depression. Talk about Woodrow Wilson, David Lloyd George, and Clemenceau and their relations or Russian Revolutionary tactics. And there's tons of stuff on the Nazi's narrow it down by picking one country invaded or Kristallnacht or if you want to stick with something current and popular read Monument's Men (good book!) and discuss Hitler's obsession with the arts. Good Luck! AJ
